Description
RÅ«hollÄh KhÄleqi...
(more) (1906, Kerman, Iran – November 12, 1965, Salzburg, Austria) (Persian: روØ‌الله خالقی ), also spelled as Khaleghi, was a prominent Iranian musician, composer, conductor and author.
In 1944 KhÄleghi established the National Music Society and in 1949,[1] thanks to the efforts of this great artist, the School of National Music was founded. After his first journey to the former U.S.S.R. in 1955, he became involved in the Iran-Soviet Society and was selected as a member of its Board of Directors.
He also began to serve as the director of the PayÄm-e-Novin Magazine. His work, The History of Persian Music, which was published in two volumes, took shape during these years. His other published works include: Harmony of Western Music, Theory of Eastern Music, and Theory of Persian Music.

For many years KhÄleghi worked as a musical advisor for Radio Iran and was one of the founders of the program known as Gol'hÄ (Flowers). He also conducted the Gol'hÄ Orchestra, for which he composed many pieces and revised the original compositions of his contemporaries as well as older masters, such as Ä€ref and SheydÄ. Although revised, the compositions retained all their original characteristics.
KhÄleghi's compositions are not limited to what he wrote for Gol'hÄ. In addition to such masterpieces as Mey-e NÄb (Pure Wine), Ä€h-e Sahar (Sigh at Dawn), HÄlÄ CherÄ (Why Now?), and Chang-e Rudaki (Rudaki's Harp), he composed many other lyrical pieces and hymns, which were mostly patriotic. These include such works as Ey Iran (see GholÄm-Hossein BanÄn) and the Hymn for Azarbaijan. KhÄleghi established The National Music Society and Persian National Music Conservatory in 1949 in Tehran.
he believed Persian classical music must turn into a polyphonic music to become more attractive.[1]
He died in 1965 in Salzburg, Austria and was buried in Zahir o-dowleh cemetery, Darband, Tehran.
